In a game that shaped up as a must win for the Seattle Seahawks,Seattle had returning quarterback Matt Hasselbeck toss four touchdown passes in a 41-0 demolition of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The win improves the Seahawks to 2-3 and just one game out of first in the weaker NFC West.
Seattle hosts Arizona on Sunday in an important divisional matchup.

1) Matt Hasselbeck isn't the best QB in the league,but he ranks among the most important to his team.
Hasselbeck is 2-0 in games he starts and finishes,the Seahawks are 0-3 when he does not.
2) Seattle just is a different team with Hasselbeck instead of Seneca Wallace.
All the receivers get into the game and Seattle's strength is their receiving corps.
T.J Houshmanzdeh looked comfortable in the offense for the first time all season and Nate Burleson is able to get downfield further under Hasselbeck than the lesser armed Wallace.
3) Since the game was so lopsided,Edgerrin James had the most carries for Seattle.
This could be a good thing to round James into further game shape as I am sure he is motivated for this weeks game against the Cardinals..
4) Five sacks for the defense and the rush just was all over David Garrard from the games start.
If you want to give a specific area credit for the shutout,try the linebackers as Aaron Curry,Lofa Tatupu and Will Herring were all over the field....
5) I wish I could give you more,but the Seahawks dominated so completely as a team,there is little left to say other than this weeks game against Arizona suddenly looks like a fun game to watch!
Will try to be back later with another post.
